I have a very tiny agenda that includes:
Tiki Ti
Purple Orchid
The HB gang
A couple of meetings

Could any of the HB crew tell me when the best time is to visit? I want to see Ben's place and invade the Bong Hut. Perhaps a trip to the original Lagoon Room. Is there room in your harried, west coast, Tiki lives for little 'ol me?

Yeah, what's your schedule, pablus? I'm going to be at Tiki-Ti Friday this week instead of Wednesday. A friend of mine, Michael Hussar, has a show opening at La Luz de Jesus that night, just down the street.

My plan is to be at the Tiki Ti on Friday the very moment that they open and stay until Berry thrashes me out with a slat from a rum barrell.

I've got a meeting in Hollywood - oooooooh - ahhhhhhh - and then we are supposed to scoot down to the Tiki Ti. "We" meaning me... and if the other 2 guys want to show then fine.

I'm really looking forward to this trip but unless my respiratory system helps me out a bit I may be postponing until December. And that stinks since the Tiki Ti would be closed...

Hmmmmm... maybe early January.

I got pneumonia in late August and am still battling some lingering effects and symptoms. I've had to cancel several paying gigs due to this thing already. And worse - I can't sing - I'm croaking out a raspy dischordant sham of a voice and have been since a few days after Hukilau.

Odd, because I "normally" get one cold every 3 years and never feel anything less than fantastic.

I'm better than I was last Wednesday though and I'll know for sure 24 hours from now once I seek the dreaded medicine man's counsel.

Please forgive me for this up-in-the-air counter-scheduling but I don't have a real choice.

Hope to see you this weekend - you gotta know that.

Yo, Rev. - does that lime shot up the nose thing have any medicinal qualities?
